Housetrained: Yes

Tell us about this dog: Kody was saved from euthanization at a high kill shelter in San Antonio, Tx. It is believed that at some point Kody was physically abused and would get defensive when he felt threatened.
Kody has come a long ways and his trust in people has grew more and more everyday. He is an active fun boy who loves kids, getting belly rubs, and playing with toys. Kody is very treat motivated and is eager to learn new things. He enjoys car rides. Kody loves going for walks, hiking, and/or jogging.
Kody had been through behavioral training prior to coming into our rescue. These are notes from the trainer.
Kody knows multiple commands. Below are the commands he knows and notes from his trainer:
- look at me/pay attention
Sit
Come here- recall
Touch- nose to hand target command
Wait- pause in action- ESPECIALLY at doors!!
Settle- relax
Leave it- back away and leave that alone (barking/fixation/food/ leash excitement)
Place- go to k-bed (point)
Let’s go- change in direction/follow me
Kennel- go into kennel or crate
“Uh-uh”(buzzer type sound) or firm NO SIR for verbal correction.
“Ok” for release
WITH FOOD-
- ANY resource guarding must be corrected verbally and redirected with obedience. As soon as he trusts you he is fine, but with new people He will test. ANY physical threat or punishment will overwhelm and escalate him- his behavior demonstrated that someone tried to punish the growling out of him and he gets defensive- you must redirect him into the bed and release him to eat when friendly and calm.
He is calmer and eats better in a home environment- crate, hand feeding or bowl by your feet in a house he does well with. In a kennel he tends to be more defensive, so work outside the kennel barrier, then move inside and get him comfortable with you being in there with him while he eats before touching him while he eats.
